Eliminate The Death Tax

A FreedomWorks alert:

Eliminate the Death Tax for Good

Tell your senators to repeal the death tax once and for all.

The House voted to make the repeal of the death tax permanent by a margin of 264-163. The bill is going on to the Senate, but is threatened by a minority filibuster. Permanently getting rid of the death tax would not only allow family businesses and farms to be passed down; it would stop government destruction of small companies. Let your Senators know that the death tax is unjust, unwise, and needs to be abolished once and for all.

From their sample message:

No section of the tax code is more unfair and dangerous to our entrepreneurial economy than the Death Tax. With rates as high as 55 percent, the Death Tax punishes people who build a successful business and try to leave that legacy to their family. Moreover, the Death Tax’s modest contributions to the federal Treasury are dwarfed by its staggering impact on the U.S. economy.
